Locking onto the aura of the monster that had vanished into the shadow world, Esdeath coldly pursued it.
As one of the top experts in the Kyoto branch of the Suppression Department, wouldn't it be a joke if she couldn't even handle a three-star peak monster?
……
At Sakura-sou, a little past ten o'clock, Shiina Mashiro, who had been drawing manga, was just sent to take a bath by Jiang Jing when suddenly the toy knife Guren on the table moved slightly.
"Hmm, is there anything?"
Jiang Jing, who was squatting on the ground preparing to pick up Xiao Guang, looked up and said calmly, "Go ahead, make sure you eat it and clean it up properly."
Whoosh!
To Xiao Guang's astonishment, the toy knife that Jiang Jing had been playing with suddenly flew off the table and out the window.
However, just as Jiang Jing carried Xiao Guang to the living room and filled several cat bowls with cat food, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he stood up: "You guys eat slowly, I'm going out for a bit."
"Meow..." Xiao Guang glanced at Jiang Jing's departing figure.
When Esdeath followed the aura to a dimly lit alley, she paused, her gaze sharpening as she looked at the invisible barrier in front of her.
"Has someone already made a move?"
Sensing the demonic aura emanating from the barrier ahead, Esdeath, surrounded by blue ice, slowly walked over, her inner power poised to erupt at any moment.
However, the scene she saw after entering the barrier stunned her.
On the dark red earth, a monster whose main body resembled a black sea urchin five or six meters in size, covered with giant python tentacles seven or eight meters long, lay dismembered on the ground.
Beside the monster, a boy was squatting on the ground. In front of him, a dark red longsword cut the monster into pieces like light, and then removed sections of transparent tendons that shimmered with black light from the disgusting pile of dark purple flesh.
"The Association's Suppression Department." Jiang Jing, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head and looked at Esdeath as she walked into the barrier.
"You are……"
Looking at Jiang Jing, Esdeath's gaze shifted slightly, and the fighting spirit in her eyes was forcibly suppressed. She said solemnly, "Awakener, Kanda Sorata."
Unlike Akame, who is indifferent to the outside world and focused solely on breaking through her limits, Esdeath has been paying close attention to information about this world and using her privileges to continuously learn new knowledge in the days since she left the restricted area, while dealing with monsters and troublesome superhumans.
Therefore, Jiang Jing, this newly emerged awakened individual who shocked countless people, was also on her radar. If Jiang Jing hadn't revealed his King-level strength that day, Esdeath might have already challenged him.
However, although Esdeath enjoys fighting and killing, she does not have a masochistic habit.
Jiang Jing nodded to her: "Did you come here after this monster? Wait a minute, I'll be done here soon."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Jing ignored the blue-haired beauty beside him, raised a piece of demonic tendon with his hand, and a terrifying light appeared in his eyes. In an instant, two beams of high temperature shot out.
call!
This time, Jiang Jing controlled the temperature of the ray, turning it into a blazing flame that enveloped the demon's tendon, with crackling sounds echoing amidst the raging fire.
Under the high-temperature rays formed from Jiang Jing's pure light energy, the demonic meridian was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye, leaving only specks of black light floating in the flames.
Jiang Jing withdrew the beam and held the tiny black specks of light in his hand, chuckling, "Interesting. Directly integrating this into the monster's body makes it appear on the surface as just an ordinary monster attack, but in reality, it conceals a scheme."
"Has this thing killed quite a few people these past few days, and in different places it's done all sorts of bloody things?" Jiang Jing stood up and looked at Esdeath.
“Not bad.” Esdeath said in a deep voice, sensing something was off from Jiang Jing’s words.
"Ah……"
Jiang Jing chuckled, tossing the sacrificial rune in his hand, which had been bound by his mental power and turned into a hollow sphere: "This is a good sacrificial method. It seems that you are preparing to use the blood sacrifice of nineteen women born on the same day, month, and year to open something."
"Alright, since you're here, I'll give you this. With it, I'm sure you can find something. I'm going back to sleep now."
As he spoke, Jiang Jing tossed what he was holding to Esdeath, waved to her, and the magic sword, which had turned into a toy knife in his hand, flashed red light and retracted its domain barrier.
After watching Jiang Jing's figure disappear, Esdeath finally turned her attention to her hands.
"Sorata, you went out?"
Shiina Mashiro, who had already finished showering and was lying on the bed drawing, turned her head and looked at Jiang Jing with curiosity.
"I just went out for a walk," Jiang Jing said casually.
"Oh"
Shiina Mashiro got out of bed and looked at Jiang Jing: "Sorata, tomorrow is the release date of the manga and the third volume. Shall we go check it out?"
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "What's wrong, Mashiro? Are you worried about your comic book grades? Also, why aren't you buttoning up your pajamas?"
Jiang Jing was speechless as he looked at Shiina Mashiro, who was only wearing panties and had her pajamas unbuttoned, revealing nothing underneath.
Shiina Mashiro shook her head: "I'm not worried, but it's the first time my manga has been published, so I'm thinking of going to check it out."
After saying that, Mashiro tossed her slightly hot long hair and fanned herself with her small hand, saying strangely, "It's so strange, it was so hot in the room after I came back from taking a shower, so I took off my clothes to cool down."
"Aren't you going to school tomorrow? Are you going to see the comic book release?" Jiang Jing changed the subject.
Shiina Mashiro's eyes lit up: "Skip class."
P.S.: The third update is here, haha... I still owe eighteen chapters.
.
Many readers want me to update more frequently, like 10,000 words a day, to make up for what I owe as soon as possible. Actually, I do want to do that too.
.
Now I write full-time, from morning till night, and I can write about 15,000 words a day. But I'm not satisfied with a lot of the content, so I cut and edit until I only have about 6,000 or 7,000 words left.
.
I could easily write 10,000 or even more than 10,000 words, but you definitely wouldn't like this kind of content, right?
.
Also, could you guys please turn on auto-subscription for those who are "raising" books? Don't let them die! It hurts to see the reading progress drop every day.
I'm going to find some pictures now. Please refresh the page later! ^_^
Chapter 137 Saigyouji Yuyuko: Give Yourself to Him
"Yuuka, I've noticed you've been troubled these past few days. What's wrong? Is it because you didn't reach an agreement with that Awakened One the other day?"
Saigyouji Yuyuko floated around in the air, eating something in her hand, and said with her mouth bulging.
"Hmm, I'm wondering what I can trade with him?" Sitting in her chair, Kazami Yuuka rested her chin on her hands, her brows slightly furrowed.
"A deal? What kind of deal?" Yuyuko floated up to Yuuka Kazami and asked curiously.
“I want his source of light, and he agreed, but I don’t know what I can offer him in return,” Yuuka Kazami said calmly.
"The source! He actually gave it up." Saigyouji Yuyuko was shocked and immediately collapsed onto the table.
Kazami Yuuka nodded: "Yes, I can tell he wasn't lying."
"But that's precisely why I've been troubled these past few days. After all, it's an incomparably precious source, and a source power that would be of great help to me. I can't think of anything I can offer in exchange." Kazami Yuuka said, somewhat troubled.
Turning over and sitting on the table, Saigyouji Yuyuko swung her legs casually and said, "This is so simple."
"Simple?" Yuuka Kazami was taken aback.
"Yes, I remember reading a lot of travelogues before. Your situation is very simple. Since you don't have any items to trade, you might as well give yourself to him."
"Give it to him yourself? What do you mean?" Kazami Yuuka was a little confused.
"It's about giving yourself to him. In those travelogues, once a woman becomes a man's possession, he'll give her whatever she wants," Saigyouji Yuyuko enthusiastically offered advice to Kazami Yuuka.
Although Kazami Yuuka doesn't have the common concept of men and women, she hasn't lived in vain all these years, and she still has some understanding of such worldly matters.
At this moment, Kazami Yuuka, who understood what Saigyouji Yuyuko meant, said irritably, "Yuyuko, do you even know what it means to give yourself to him?"
"Aren't we living in the same house?" Saigyouji Yuyuko was taken aback, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
……
"Mashiro, didn't you say you came out today to check on comic book sales?"
In the Ashikaga shopping district, Jiang Jing looked at a pair of eyes curiously looking around, eating an apple candy in her hand, and Shiina Mashiro, who was walking and stopping along the way, asked strangely.
“It’s fine to just walk around with Sorata like this instead of going to the bookstore,” Shiina Mashiro said calmly, tilting her head as she looked at Jiang Jing.
I skipped class today to go shopping. Neither Shiina Mashiro nor Jiang Jing were wearing their uniforms. Jiang Jing was wearing a simple blue t-shirt, gray casual pants, and flat shoes.
Because of the sun, even though it wasn't hot, Shiina Mashiro still wore a round sun hat, a beige sleeveless dress, and carried a small bag, looking very cute.
And today, Shiina Mashiro didn't bring her sketchbook; it seems she plans to play all day.
"I think you just want to skip class." Jiang Jing rolled his eyes, then said nothing more and followed Shiina Mashiro around with her.
Speaking of shopping, Jiang Jing couldn't understand why women liked it. Shiina Mashiro and Misaki had already strolled through several main streets in the Ashikaga district, yet Shiina Mashiro was still so enthusiastic today.
For example, right now, after spending more than an hour strolling through the five main streets with river views, we headed towards a quiet little street with few people and vehicles and a beautiful green environment.
"Sorata, let's go sit in that park." At the traffic light, Shiina pointed to a small park across the street.
Jiang Jing nodded: "Are you tired from walking? Then let's go sit down."
However, just as the green light turned on and Shiina Mashiro stepped onto the pedestrian crossing, a car in the distance suddenly appeared to have brake failure and sped straight towards them.
"Slow down, Mashiro." Jiang Jing frowned, and slowly reached out to grab Shiina Mashiro's shoulder. In an instant, the black sedan brushed past Mashiro and crashed into the roadside trees ahead.
boom! !
A half-meter-thick tree was nearly snapped in two by the impact, vibrating violently and scattering countless leaves. At that moment, the car also stopped, its hood popping open and smoking.
Having almost been hit, even Shiina Mashiro could no longer remain calm, her face showing a look of lingering panic as she opened her mouth to look at Jiang Jing.
"Sorata..."
Jiang Jing put his arm around her shoulder, patted her back, and comforted her gently, saying, "It's alright."
"Mmm." Leaning against Jiang Jing's firm chest, Shiina Mashiro felt very at ease, and her flustered and nervous heart gradually calmed down.
There weren't many people or vehicles here. Although passing cars slowed down and glanced at the car that had crashed into the tree, no one seemed inclined to get out or make a phone call to help.
"Sorata, let's go take a look." Shiina Mashiro, who had calmed down by then, pointed to the smoking car.
Looking at the black sedan, Jiang Jing's gaze turned slightly cold, and he barely suppressed the urge to slap it into a pancake.
With a quick glance, Jiang Jing knew that the car's braking system was indeed faulty, not an intentional murder, and that the person sitting inside was in a precarious situation.
Since Shiina Mashiro had spoken up, Jiang Jing thought for a moment, nodded, and walked over with a cold face.
Bang!
